> I'm installing Debian 3.0r1 ppc from CDs onto a year 2000 ibook. I installed onto my Grey/White 1999iBook from the net using Branden's instructions (http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook). I immediately went to sid though.

After installation of a kernel, it's in /boot/config-2.4.19-powerpc, or in the kernel-headers in /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.20/.config > 3.

More experimental things are going on in ext2 nowadays, but I believe that's in 2.5, not 2.4. However, ext3 is supposed to be quite nice. > 4.

Also, I've read that hfs+ support in the kernel is coming along as well! Frank
